The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Altec Industries is recalling certain 2022-2023 Aerial Devices (AT, TA, L44, L45, LR8, AA, AM, AN) and D series Digger Derricks (DH, DL, DM, DT). The power inverter that converts electrical DC power to AC power may have been installed without a circuit breaker to protect the AC output circuit. Without a circuit breaker, the AC circuit may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 535 units are affected by the recall.
- Autocar is recalling certain 2023 ACX vehicles, equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines. The remote Stage 2 fuel filter hoses may have been damaged during production, allowing the hoses to leak or disconnect. A disconnected hose will result in an engine stall increasing the risk of a crash. Also, a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 54 units are affected by the recall.
- Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2022-2023 LR battery electric trucks. The rivnut threaded inserts inside the high-voltage battery may be over-tightened and break, which could result in a short circuit. An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially nine units are affected by the recall.
- Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2020-2024 VNR Electric vehicles. The rivnut threaded inserts inside the high-voltage battery may be over-tightened and break, which could result in a short circuit. An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 172 units are affected by the recall.
